The most common type of baldness is androgenetic alopecia which is caused mainly by genetic inheritance from a parent of the patient. Most traditional forms of hair replacement treatments are specifically targeted towards curing this form of hair loss, therefore you can take finasteride orally, or minoxidil topically to cure the hair loss syndrome or even stop the progression of hair loss and re-grow the hair you have lost. Otherwise, you can opt for hair transplantation, or any number of other hair replacement surgeries for dealing with this.
Female pattern alopecia is the feminine manifestation of the same syndrome described above. It is also a condition that is treatable by all of the above options except for finasteride. Because finasteride does not have any known positive affects on female pattern hair loss, and because it also causes birth defects, the FDA has sanctioned that this medication should not be used on women within the childbearing age. But you do have all the other hair replacement treatments.
Alopecia areata is a baldness condition in which your hair falls out in irregular patches often believed to be caused by inflammation, nerve disorders, or local infections. It is an autoimmune disorder that is also called “spot baldness”. Merely treating the infection is mostly a guaranteed hair replacement cure for areata, except if the damage done to your scalp is too extensive already, in which case alopecia areata monolocularis or alopecia areata universalis may result.
Traction alopecia is the type of hair loss that you do to yourself when you go with ponytails or cornrows all the time. By pulling on your hair with all that excessive force, you cause it to break and fall out on its own. The best hair replacement treatment for traction alopecia is to desist from the destructive habit that is causing the progression. If the hair does not grow back on its own, you can try minoxidil also, or better still, speak to a dermatologist about it.
Trichotillomania is also a relatively common type of hair loss that results from the bad habit of compulsive pulling and bending of your hairs. You will find this more in children and the truth is that the hairs are only broken in the scalp. What you need is a lot of nothing to restore your lost hairs; just see to it that you don’t do it again.
Total hair loss as a result of cancer treatment chemotherapy is common enough in the United States, and it often gets into complete remission once the treatment is completed or discontinued. Childbirth or a major surgery can cause patterns of hair loss also that do not have to be treated; poisoning and severe stress tend to cause telogen effluvium, a hair loss condition that is again treatable by treating the underlying condition.
Online, you will find numerous hair replacement treatments that may accrue to dealing with these individual conditions, but you don’t want to throw that in your doctor or dermatologist’s face. Let them guide you to making the right hair replacement decisions with respect to the syndrome you are suffering from so that you can cure your hair loss once and for all.
